Gail Simone on Gail Simone…

I live on the Oregon coast with my husband and two doggies. I love working in comics for the joy of collaborating with fantastically gifted creative people. I love traveling around the world to spread the message of comics, but above all, I love simply telling stories.

Gail Simone, what are your favorite projects you’ve contributed to over the past decade?

I was incredibly proud to write Wonder Woman, possibly the greatest female adventure icon ever. I am proud to have shown that, with Birds of Prey, an all-female book could be a success with a large, loyal following and without reverting to cliché. And I'm proud of Secret Six, which never failed to push edges and boundaries.

I am currently reading The Walking Dead (Compendium 1 / MAR092419), which is about zombies… or something. I'm loving Francesco Francavilla's Black Beetle (v1 HC / APR130019), which is just a delight in every way, and I never miss an issue of Terry Moore's Rachel Rising (v1 TP / JAN120780), one of the best mystery/spooky comics ever!
